Description

Ethiopian Reversible Cross Pendant
60mm × 25mm | 14g | 925 Sterling Silver | Handcrafted
Handcrafted in sterling silver, this reversible cross blends ancient Ethiopian tradition with modern artistry. Inspired by the sacred crosses of Ethiopia’s Habesha Christians, it features seven articulated components that create delicate movement. Merging 4th-century Coptic influences with intricate wirework, its reversible design offers two distinct looks. Designed for daily wear (60mm × 25mm, 14g) while maintaining presence, it comes with a traditional dark cotton cord. The polished finish highlights the silver’s natural glow.

The cross has always been a symbol of profound significance. The simple forms of the Latin and Greek crosses gradually evolved into the more intricate Coptic designs, characterised by elaborate openwork patterns and decorative elements. To this day, many Christian Habesha continue to wear crosses around their necks.

Carefully handcrafted by skilled artisans, every pendant displays slight variations in shape and finish, making each piece entirely unique and a true expression of traditional silversmithing.
